No worries, I let autocorrect and speech to text do a lot of lifting and that shit happen. I consider my typing and posting to be a "performance art". ;)

I did that a few times, then just started the "put things in the cart barcode up" and the one scanning stop went a lot faster. That system breaks down though if you have a lot of things in the cart to the point you have to stack stuff up. But also I got the Sam's plus thing and get free...

The thing at Sam's is good, but not perfect yet. It scans your basket, then correlates that to either a recent register or recent scan and go purchase for accuracy. It will still ping you for a check from a person if it sees things in your cart it can't identify, or aren't on your receipt...

This also ties into the fact that recently Walmart announced that they planned on meeting their growth goals for the next 5 years without a net increase in employee count due to leveraging AI, automation, etc....

I will say that depending on what you're looking for there's some very passable AI music out there. I have been listening to a thing called "NuvoLuxe" as my "background/wallpaper" music for a while since they do a lot of AI style stuff in genres I enjoy. (They have a multi volume set that's...

.,.. when you start thinking about stuff you really want to happen after you die. Or as I think I might have previously mentioned have some dark dressed mysterious woman show up at the viewing throw salt all over your corpse and coffin and scream "AND THIS TIME YOU'LL STAY DEAD" then leave...

Well I found the "Put a small bet on this and forget about it" stock on my list which is actually benefitting from this latest game of brinksmanship by China and the US. This is in my "fun and games gambling" side portfolio. I put around a car payment on it back when it was around $.60...

As mentioned my belief is that they're going to partner with hardware manufacturers (like with the Asus ROG Ally) and eventually that means one will essentially design a PC that just has an XBOX official "shell" on it and skin for Windows 11 that makes it feel like a dedicated gaming platform...

Watching how the GamePass nonsense is heading and all else with MS the wife decided she wanted "A good console with a lot of games that we don't have to be online or pay a sub for". To that end.... I dropped off our ancient Xbox 360 with a dude today to mod/unlock it and pimp it out. It will...

Yeah, the "black magic box" is called a Maestro box. I was suspect of it and if I really needed it, but seeing what it's delivering I'm definitely flipped on that opinion. This was the first year for this iteration of the Escape and they had the standard trims which we got one of, and the...

Yeah, I've already ordered a paintless dent pulling kit (the glue gun and puller style) and it looks pretty basic to do. That's one ding she has on her drivers door. As mentioned I have all the gear already to do cut, buff, and polish for any surface scratching. The more complicated part is...

@Hekotat If you find a good one let me know as well... This relates to this weeks decision on the part of @Mrs. Haus . The only actual new car I've ever purchased was the 2013 Ford Escape which is her daily driver. It's coming up on 13 years old now. I had fully accepted that it was time to...

What I'm wondering how is how Palantir isn't (visibly) on the chart. I can't imagine they don't also have a massive dutch rudder going on with the rest of the AI chip crowd.

better version....
